2014 net earnings were $3.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, marking the fifth consecutive year of profitability. This compares with 2013 net earnings of $3.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.

Robert E. Matthiessen, president and chief executive officer, commented, "2014 was notably stronger than 2013, with our business driven by strong demand and quote activity in the semiconductor, defense/aerospace and telecommunications industries. 2014 net revenues and earnings per share exceeded analysts' consensus estimates of $40.95 million in net revenues and $0.29 earnings per share. In addition, we exceeded analysts' consensus estimates for both net revenues of $9.0 million and net earnings per share of $0.05 for the 2014 fourth quarter. For the full year, 2014 bookings and revenue increased 11% and 6%, respectively, compared with 2013, fueled by the momentum and strength of our business, as well as adoption of our new products from a wide range of customers."

Mr. Matthiessen continued, "By leveraging the strength of our semiconductor business, we have steadily diversified inTEST and are expanding our presence in new markets across the technology landscape. The Thermal Products segment is our largest, most profitable and diversified division -- providing inTEST with significant growth opportunities in the future. Our long-term objective is to grow and transform inTEST Corporation into a broad-based thermal test solutions company, while continuing to supply our valued customers in the semiconductor test arena. We have increased our footprint and evolved into a thermal test solutions provider, offering a comprehensive product portfolio capable of addressing growth markets in both the semiconductor and non-semiconductor sectors, including automotive, consumer electronics, defense/aerospace, energy, industrial, and
telecommunications. We believe the conditions for our long-term success remain firmly in place."

First Quarter 2015 Financial OutlookinTEST expects that net revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 will be in the range of $9.0 million to $10.0 million and that net earnings will range from breakeven to $0.04 per diluted share. Hugh T. Regan, Jr., treasurer and chief financial officer, noted, "The reduced EPS guidance range for the first quarter of 2015 is driven by an unfavorable forecasted product mix versus the fourth quarter of 2014 in which we experienced a very favorable product mix." This outlook is based on the Company's current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers' forecasts, which are subject to change.
